PROCESSIONAL HYMN. 



A NCIENT of days, who sittest, throned in glory; 
-**• To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray; 
Thy love has blest the wide world's wondrous story, 
With light and life since Eden's dawning day. 



O Holy Father, who hast led thy children 

In all the ages, with the Fire and Cloud, 
Through seas dry-shod; through weary wastes bewildering; 

To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed. 

O Holy Jesus, Prince of Peace and Saviour, 
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails. 

Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behavior, 
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales. 

O Holy Ghost, the Lord and the Life- giver, 
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase: 

From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river. 
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity, and peace, 

O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring, 
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days; 

Pray we, that thou wilt hear us, still imploring 
Thy love and favour, kept to us always.

Psalm 144. Benedictus Dominus. 

DLESSED be the Lord my strength: who teacheth my 
•'-' hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 

2. My hope and my fortress, my castle and dehverer, 
my defender in whom 1 trust: who subdueth my people that 
is under me. 

3. Lord, what is man, that thou hast such respect unto 
him: or the son of man, that thou so regardest him? 

4. Man is like a thing of nought: his time passeth away 
like a shadow. 

5. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down: touch 
the mountains, and they shall smoke. 

6. Cast forth thy lightning, and tear them: shoot out 
thine arrows, and consume them. 

7. Send down thine hand from above: deliver me, and 
take me out of the great waters, from the hand of strange 
children; 

8. Whose mouth talketh of vanity: and their right hand 
is a right hand of wickedness. 

9. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: and sing 
praises unto thee upon a ten-stringed lute. 

10. Thou hast given victory unto kings: and hast 
delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword. 

11. Save me, and deliver me from the hand of strange 
children: whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right 
hand is a right hand of iniquity: 

12. That our sons may grow up as the young plants: 
and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of 
the temple; 

13. That our garners may be full and plenteous with all 
manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands, 
and ten thousands in our streets; 

14. That our oxen may be strong to labour, that there 
be no decay: no leading into captivity, and no complaining 
in our streets. 

15. Happy are the people that are in such a case: yea, 
blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God. 



^ Then shall be read the Lesson from the Epistle to the 
Hebrews. 

Hebrews xi, v. 8; and xii to v. 2. 

q After which shall be sung the following Canticle. 

Magnificat, S. Luke i, 46. 

IV/IY soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced 
•^'•^ in God my Saviour. 

2. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. 

3. For behold from henceforth: all generations shall call 
me blessed. 

4. For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy 
is his Name. 

5. And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout 
all generations, 

6. He hath showed strength with his arm: he hath 
scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 

7. He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and 
hath exalted the humble and meek. 

8. He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the 
rich he hath sent empty away. 

9. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant 
Israel: as he promised to our forefathers Abraham and his 
seed forever. 

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy 
Ghost; 

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, 
world without end. Amen. 

^ The7i shall be said the Apostles' Creed by the Minister 
a?id the People^ standing. 

I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven 
^ and earth. 

And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was 
conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary: 
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and 
buried: He descended into Hell; The third day he rose 
again from the dead: He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth 
on the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From thence 
he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost: The Holy Catholic Church; 
The Communion of Saints: The forgiveness of Sins: The 
Resurrection of the body: And the Life everlasting. Amen. 



^ And after that, these Prayers folloTving, all devoutly 
kneeling., the Minister first pronouncing : 

The Lord be with you.

that the collects and prayers following. 

A Colled for Peace. 

r\ GOD, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, 
^^ and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants 
that peace which the world can not give; that our hearts 
may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by 
thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may 
pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of 
Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen. 



A Collect for Aid against Perils. 

T IGHTEN our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by

of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour, 
Jesus Christ. Amen. 



A Prayer for The President of the United States, and all 
in Civil Authority. 

ALMIGHTY God, whose kingdom is everlasting and 
power infinite; Have mercy upon this whole land; 
and so rule the hearts of thy servants The President of 
THE United States, and all others in authority, that they, 
knowing whose ministers they are, may above all thmgs 
seek thy honour and glory; and that we and all the People, 
duly considering whose authority they bear, may faithfully 
and obediently honour them, in thee, and for thee, according 
to thy blessed Word and ordinance; through Jesus Christ 
our Lord, who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and 
reigneth ever, one God, world without end. Amen. 

A Prayer for the Clergy and People. 

ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, from whom cometh 
every good and perfect gift; Send down upon our 
Bishops, and other Clergy, and upon the Congregations 
committed to their charge, the healthful Spirit of thy grace; 
and, that they may truly please thee, pour upon them the 
continual dew of thy blessing. Grant this, O Lord, for 
the honour of our Advocate and Mediator, Jesus Christ. 
Amen. 

A Prayer for the Society of Colonial Wars. 

OGOD, who hast promised in Thy Holy Word to show 
mercy unto generation after generation of those who 
love thee, and keep thy commandments. We give thee 
hearty thanks for the good examples of all those thy serv- 
ants who bore faithful witness for true religion and Chris- 
tian freedom in the days of our forefathers. And we 
humbly beseech thee to continue thy protection to their 
children, and especially to the members of the Society of 
Colonial Wars. Strengthen them to be defenders of their 
country's Godly heritage, and mercifully grant that all 
things in this, our Fatherland, may be so ordered and 
settled upon the best and surest foundations, that peace 
and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may 
be established among us for all generations. All of which 
we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 



2 Cor. xiii, 14. 
nPHE grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of 
* God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with 
us all evermore. Amen. 

^^ Then shall be sung this Hymn. 
'X'HE Son of God goes forth to war, 
■■• A kingly crown to gain. 
His blood-red banner streams afar: 
Who follows in His train.? 

Who best can drink His cup of woe, 

Triumphant over pain; 
Who patient bears His cross below, 

He follows in His train. 

The martyr first, whose eagle eye 

Could pierce beyond the grave; 
Who saw his Master in the sky. 

And called on Him to save. 

Like Him, with pardon on His tongue, 

In midst of mortal pain, 
He prayed for them that did the wrong: 

Who follows in His train? 

A glorious band, the chosen few, 

On whom the Spirit came: 
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, 

And mocked the cross and flame. 

They met the tyrant's brandished steel, 

The lion's gory mane; 
They bowed their necks the death to feel: 

Who follows in their train? 

A noble army: men and boys. 

The matron and the maid; 
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, 

In robes of light arrayed. 

They climbed the steep ascent of heaven 

Through peril, toil, and pain; 
O God, to us may grace be given 

To follow in their train. 



^Here the address by Caleb C. Magruder, Jr., the Historian 
of the Society shall be made. 

^Then shall be sung an Antheiim. 
OFFERTORY .... Naylor 

D EHOLD, God is great, and we know Him not, the num- 
*-' ber of His years is unsearchable. The Lord of Hosts, 
Him shall ye sanctify, and let Him be your fear and your 
dread. O God when Thou wentest forth before Thy people, 
when Thou didst march through the wilderness. The earth 
trembled, the Heavens also dropped at the presence of the 
God of Israel. Who shall not fear O Lord and glorify Thy 
name, for Thou only art holy; Righteous and true are Thy 
ways Thou King of the ages. Sing unto God ye kingdoms 
of the earth, O sing praises unto the Lord. To Him that 
rideth upon the heaven of heavens, which are of old; lo He 
uttereth His voice, and that a mighty voice. O God, Thou 
art terrible out of Thy holy places the God of Israel He 
giveth strength and power unto His people. Blessed be God. 

Job xxxvi 26: Isaiah viii 13. Rev. xv 4, 3: Ps. I, xviii 
32, 33. 35.

r^ OOD People, We are gathered together in the Name 
^^ and Presence of Almighty God, to dedicate a memorial 
of the noble works of which we have heard with our ears, 
and our fathers have declared unto us, that thou didst in 
their days and in the old time before them. For they got 
not the land in possession through their own sword, neither 
was it their own arm that helped them; but thy right hand, 
and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because 
thou hast a favour unto them. Wherefore I beseech you to 
call upon God our Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
that he would assist us in this our present undertaking, and 
in all other works undertaken for the glory of God and the 
good of this nation. 



*^Thai, all standing , the Minister shall say :

/^UR Father, who art in Heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. 
^^ Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as 
it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And 
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those v/ho trespass 
against us. And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us 
from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the 
glory, for ever and ever. Avien. 

•jj Then shall the Minister add these Collects and Prayers: 

r\ LORD, without whom our labour is but lost, and with 
^^ whom thy little ones go forth as the mighty; be present 
to bless all works which are undertaken according to thy 
will, and especially that to which we set our hands this day, 
granting to us, thy labourers, a pure intention, patient faith, 
sufFicient success upon earth, and the bliss of serving thee in 
heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Ameii. 

\/OUCHSAFE, O God, to bestow thy blessing upon the 
^ Society of the Colonial Wars, and grant that the Church 
and Commonwealth of this land may benefit by their labours, 
and that the members may not only perceive, and faithfully 
fulfill their duties as citizens of this country, but also attain 
to the privileges of citizenship in thy kingdom eternal in the 
heavens; through the merits of thy Son, our King and 
Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

r\ GOD, our refuge and strength, God of nations, and God 
^^ of battles, who dost plant the peoples in and dost pluck 
them out. We yield unto thee most high praise and hearty 
thanks for the wonderful grace and virtue declared in our 
forefathers, who laid the foundations both of the Church and 
of the State in this land, amid great hardships and perils of 
war and famine and pestilence. We bless and magnify thy 
holy Name for the memory of their constancy and courage, 



even unto death, in the lonely wilderness; and we beseech 
thee, O God of our fathers, that we, who have entered into 
the fruit of their labours and sufferings, may be enabled by the 
grace of Thy Holy Spirit to serve Thee all our days with like 
fortitude, faith, and fidelity, to the end that peace and happi- 
ness, truth and justice, religion and piety, may be established 
among us for all generations; through Jesus Christ our Lord, 
to whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honour and 
glory, world without end. Amen.

ON behalf of the vestry of St. John's Church, Georgetown 
Parish, in the Diocese of Washington, 1 do dedicate this 
boulder, erected by the Society of Colonial Wars in the Dis- 
trict of Columbia, to the memory of Ninian Beall, We 
yield Thee hearty thanks most merciful Father, that it hast 
pleased Thee to place among men Thy servant of strong arm 
and Christian voice whose works helped to make possible the 
building of our nation and the spread of Thy teachings. We 
thank Thee also for those of his children who have followed 
in his pathway of Christian religion and civic virtue. And 
humbly we beseech Thee to grant, that by Thy grace, all his 
worthy qualities may be born again in each succeeding genera- 
tion to the glory of Thy Holy Name and the perpetuation of 
our country, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

THE God of peace, who brought again from the dead our 
Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shepherd of the Sheep, 
through the blood of the everlasting covenant; Make you 
perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you 
that which is well pleasing in His sight; through Jesus 
Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
